Police investigate deaths of couple inside Ypsilanti Township home

Authorities are investigating the suspicious deaths of two people inside their home on the northside of Ypsilanti Township.

Concerned friends of the couple called police after discovering their bodies inside the bedroom of a home in the 1300 block of Byron Street at about 1 p.m., Washtenaw County Sheriff's Cmdr. Dave Egeler said.

Investigators have not confirmed the identies, but the two people appear to be in their 50s and are presumed to be the homeowners, Egeler said.

"Friends had not heard from them in quite a while," Egeler said.

He could not provide a time-frame Sunday.

There were no signs of forced entry and a gun was found inside the bedroom.
Autopsies are pending and further details were not available Sunday afternoon.
